Are we getting any closer...?

Alot of discussions have taken place in these threads. I am curious as to whether or not anyone feels that we have made any progress towards achieving time travel?

Has any foundation been established upon which we can move forward?

What exactly are the basic time travel ideals we have come up with so far...?

What direction can we take to move ahead and not get bogged down in a cycle of repeating the same things over and over again?

Patterns definetly emerge after a given amount of time, and the pattern here is we seem to cover the same ground more than once. We put forth an idea, then several weeks later, we end up discussing the same idea again.

I believe that we should become a bit more organized and establish exactly what foundations we have so far, and then move forward with them to try and work out solutions.

With this idea in mind, I am going to put together my theory and the supporting material that is available in a new thread. I am hopeful that this will allow a more disciplined outline of process for completion of the theories finally being put into practice.

I believe others should do the same, and together we may actually begin to move towards our goals of achieving time travel.
 
This forum has become filled with conspiracy theorists. What happened to research on Time Travel? Some of us are trying to start appropriate threads and end up having to put up with people making accusations of a government conspiracy, where agents are hidden in the bushes watching them because they revealed only God knows what in posts in Time Travel Institute.

Come on folks...lets move on and focus!
 
I agree. I'm new to the forum. I'm an undergrad in astrophysics. After reading numerous postings I have found some serious people and have also found some not so serious people. I keep an open mind and would like to believe that someday time travel would be possible. As an astrophysics major I'm well aware of the tremendous constraints. I'm reading "Time Travel in Einstein's Universe" by Dr. J. Gott. So far it is interesting and I would recommend it to any serious person who wants to understand the fundamentals of time travel as put forth by Gott, who is one of the foremost astrophysicists. He has done research on time travel and it's possibilities.
I look forward to serious discussions on time travel and the physics involved.
 
OvLrdLegion,

I don't know if "we" (this forum) are getting any closer. You are very astute in your observation about conspiracy fruitloops (the Titor Saga being a part of that genre).

But if you do a search at www.ArXiv.org, the rpository for virtually all "real" physics papers submitted for peer review and publication, and search for "Closed Timelike Loops" you'll find dozens of papers.

Real physicists are researching this issue - irrespective of the fruitloop conspiracy theory that all working physicists are under the thumb of the govenment and lie, cheat, hide and otherwise conceal the truth from 'everyone".

Are we close. No - we're probably a century or more away. This will not be something that a garage inventor stumbles across by spinning an aluminum disc on an old RCA record player with some magnets surrounding the platten.

But if it is possible then we will accomplish it.
 
atomman,

Welcome to the forum.

Glad you've read Dr. Gott's book. He actually gives a rather bleak outlook for TT possibilities - but he does cover virtually all of the most viable theories.

I especially liked his description of bubble universes. he makes a clear distinction between the "multiverse" that Everett profers in his PhD dissertation on quantum mechanics and bubble universes as an initial cosmology (at the Big Bang) condition of your field - astrophysics.
 
Darby,

Thank you for the welcome. I'm in the chapter "Time Travel to the Future". This semester I am taking calc III and diff eq. I have had college physics I and II and General Astronomy (calculus based) and numerous geology courses (I now have a minor degree in geology). I hope I can learn alot from the members of this forum. I want to get into some theoretical physics and astrophysics when I go to graduate school.
May I inquire are you a physicist or engineer ? I have noticed that some people on this forum, having read some posts, have a good knowledge of science. Some do not. Your posts reflect knowedge. I was hoping that there would be people on the forum that wanted to have serious discussions. Even if you are not a scientist or engineer you must be well read on the subject.
Thank you again for the welcome and I'm looking forward to future discussions.

Code foxtrot-blue-Antilles-6: It seems Mr. X may be onto our little scheme. Suggest you inform Mr. G of our trouble and request he invoke Protocol Zion, set for enforcement at 0955 Zulu, on T-day. You already know the rendezvous coordinates. I will be the man drinking German beer from a green bottle (we dispensed with the whole flower-lapel thing, as the gays kept trying to hit on us!).

Thank-You for the link. It will be something I definitely will look over. Have you read The Key Of Time Thread? I would love to have someone of your background translate the wording of Hermes, and insert your understandings of what Hermes put on the tablet.

I know that connections exist between his wording and what our understandings are regarding time.

I was also thinking you would have caught the error in the Sound post when I put in the graphics of light waves. The purpose of my "error" will become clearer as the thread proceeds. Rainman has built upon the foundation of that thread, and I am hoping you could build upon what was started in there as well.

conspiracy fruitloops...took awhile to stop laughing and compose myself. You certainly have a way with words, my friend!
 
Wouldnt it be a hoot if the real time travellers were """debunking""" the suppossed time travellers because "they" know who is real and who isnt?

So whom would be debunking whom ? Another Time Travel paradox?

And wouldnt it be something if the real time travellers were posting in the threads in code, making the replies seem normal, but in reality they were communications between "the travellers " unbeknownst to everyone else posting in TTI ?

That would be ironic, dont ya think ?

No, not an engineer or physicist. My undergrad degree was in Experimental Psych at UCSB. It was a lot more bio-chem, neuro pharm and experimental design than psych.

But I fit in as electives every physics and astro class that I could get into (and getting into a physics class at UCSB if you're not in the physics department is very difficult. They seem to have a lot of Nobel Laureats in that department and it was understandable that with limited classroom space for the people who were majoring in the field that it was difficult for a non-major to find a seat. /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif
